This is what two days of travel delays and cancellations look like! Our trip to FBLA Nationals in Anaheim didn't end as planned. Flights were cancelled and delayed and we had to stay an additional night, returning at midnight the following day. A huge thank you to Mrs. Perkins and Kimberly Miller for working hard to find us available hotel rooms during 4th of July week in the very busy Disneyland area! Thank you to the Board of Education for approving funds so the kids had everything they needed for two additional, unplanned days of travel! After hours of phone calls, rebooking, and three airports later, we finally made it home. Thank you to the parents of these students for being so supportive during the last two days. Your students were amazing through all of the chaos! They patiently waited through over seven hours of delays on the second day. Isaac, Ben, Emily, Ava, Andrew, Kayl, Gabe, Brittany, Canyon, Daniel and Phillip, you all made my job much easier in a tough situation!
- Mrs. Leiblie

FFA Officer Retreat at Remington Ranch: This past week our FFA officer team gathered at Remington Ranch in Independence, Kansas, for an exciting and productive retreat. This quiet and beautiful getaway gave members a chance to bond, plan, and prepare for the year ahead.
During the retreat, officers focused on setting goals and mapping out 15 impactful activities aligned with the three pillars of FFA: Growing Leaders, Strengthening Agriculture, and Building Communities. With fresh ideas and strong teamwork, the group laid the groundwork for a successful year of service and leadership.
But it wasn’t all work! The retreat also featured plenty of fun. Officers competed in “Minute to Win It”, caught fish, played intense cornhole and learned pool isn't as easy as it looks.
Adding to the weekend's highlights, members showcased their culinary skills by preparing their own meals. From homemade pizzas, tacos, and chicken wraps to delicious breakfasts of bacon, eggs, and cinnamon rolls, the team cooked up both great food and lasting memories.
This retreat not only helped our officers plan meaningful events—it brought them closer together as a team. We can’t wait to see their leadership in action this year! #EagleStrong!
